Fancy yourself as the next Gordon Ramsay or Michael O’Hare? Then this could be the competition for you.

The four men behind three popular Teesside eateries, Muse and Cena in Yarm and The Bay Horse in Hurworth, are celebrating their collective 100 years’ experience with a competition to inspire the next generation of chefs.

What’s more, the winner of this culinary competition’s live cooking final will see their winning dish take pride of place on the menu at Muse.

Marcus, whose 30-year career as a chef includes cooking for Princess Diana in the Caribbean, being head chef at the Cleveland Tontine and creating menus for GNER, is looking to find the region’s hidden culinary talent.

Adrian Rummel, previously general manager at Hide Bar and The Bay Horse, joined Jonathan and Marcus as a partner of Muse, when the trio opened the Yarm High Street restaurant in 2012.

Two years later, with the opening of Cena, Peter Huggins, joined the team, becoming a partner in the modern, Italian restaurant.

Now, with the team employing over 90 members of staff across the three restaurants, Jonathan said: “Every one of our employees is an asset to our business and we’re proud to be able to develop them into any role they would like to pursue.
